“Aston’s still not coming back in a time like this? His own sister’s vanished, and he’s unwilling to set foot in the Powell home just once?”
The old man asked coldly, and Georgia confirmed it.
Aston really hadn’t followed Georgia and Robert back. He was someone who’d left the Powell family completely, after all.
He’d worry over it and have his own parents notify the Powell family to give assistance.
But he wasn’t going back, so only Georgia and Robert had come.
As Georgia told him as much, Linus’ face turned dark.
Soon, Emilia’s father and Georgia’s second uncle, who’d worn a cold face from the first time they met, raised a question with a sunken expression.
“What’s going on with Emilia? How is she? Have you found her yet?”
Before Georgia could answer, Emilia’s mother spoke worriedly.
“What’s my daughter’s situation? Is she in danger? What requests have they made? What will it take for them to give my daughter back?”
Wracked with guilt, Georgia explained Emilia’s situation and honestly gave up the reason she’d been dragged into it all. She also spoke about how dangerous Emilia’s situation was and how horribly she was being deliberately tortured, all because of her.
As she finished, Emilia’s parents hadn’t said anything when Sally started mocking her from the side.
“The way I see it, you’re just a bad omen. You dragged Emilia into all this the moment you returned to the Powell family. You’ve got some nerve coming in front of Emilia’s parents, Georgia. Why aren’t you going out there and offering yourself in place of Emilia?”
“I’m sorry, Oscar, Margie.”
Georgia couldn’t debate it. She didn’t want to argue with Sally in a situation like this.
She could only apologize to Emilia’s parents. Other than that, she just had to do her best to find Emilia and take her back.
“That’s not a sincere apology at all. Aren’t you going to get on your knees and show your sincerity, having lost someone their daughter?”
Sally jabbed from a short distance away.
Georgia took a deep breath and knelt on the ground.
Surprisingly, Robert knelt down with her as well.
Robert spoke to Emilia’s parents.
“Georgia and I are of the same mind. We’re both just as guilty. Emilia got caught up in our business and got hurt, disappeared, and even now is in danger. Oscar, Margie, Georgia and I are trying everything to get Emilia back. Don’t worry. Georgia and I won’t back up. No matter what situation we come across, we’ll bring Emilia back safely.”
“There’s no need to kneel. Up, up. You didn’t do this. I’ve met Eric. He’s a vicious fellow, and he’d started the feud against you in the first place. You were just striking back. You weren’t to blame.”
Margie suddenly spoke and even stood, pulling Georgia and Robert up from the floor.
Georgia and Robert thanked her gratefully.
Oscar, who’d been silent throughout, spoke to the couple before them.
“Since you’ve promised to find Emilia, then you’ll take responsibility for it till the end. I’ll hand you control of my forces. I just want my daughter back.
“If she really does end up hurt, I naturally know who to take revenge on. I’ll set things clear with who the culprit is and who the people who got dragged in were.”
Emilia’s father said with his face cold.
He clapped his hands and a man in a suit came over.
“This is my secretary. Have him follow around you. I want to know what your status is at all times. You can also order him around to mobilize my forces. Stop wasting time here and find Emilia.”
Georgia thanked Oscar gratefully, and Linus spoke up.
“Do as your uncle says. We only asked you back to have this secretary follow you around to search for Emilia. You’re my granddaughter and Emilia is too. I won’t play favorites. But since Emilia is in trouble because of the two of you, then you two will have to take responsibility till the end and get her back. I want no bad seeds in the Powell family. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. Georgia and I will bring Emilia back.”
